Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a packaging box for storing prepared foods for vending machines such as gratin, pizza, french fries, hamburgers and apple pie in containers.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), for example, this type of packaging box has a top wall 1, a bottom wall 2, and a pair of opposed side walls 3, 3, and an opening is provided at each end face. 4, there is a cylindrical shape provided with 4. As shown in FIG. 6, the packaging box is configured to receive a container t containing food through the openings 4 and 4 so as to be able to be freely taken in and out from the side.

[0003] The container t is made of cardboard or the like whose surface layer has been subjected to oil-proof and water-resistant processing, and is stored in a freezing room in a vending machine in a state where food is stored in a packaging box. At the time of sale, the product is pushed out of the packaging box through the opening 4 in the vending machine, reheated by a heating unit such as a microwave oven or an oven, and then returned to the packaging box again to the product outlet. Be transported. Also, eating utensils such as forks, spoons and chopsticks are provided in the eating utensils storage area near the outlet, and when purchasing products, users take out only the used amount separately from the products.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, when the eating utensils are provided separately from the products, the purchaser is not only troublesome to take out the eating utensils, but also the stored eating utensils are exposed to the outside each time they are taken out, so that the dirt easily adheres. However, there was a problem that it was not hygienic. Another problem is that only eating utensils are unnecessarily taken away, resulting in a shortage of a certain number of eating utensils.

In this case, it is conceivable to provide an appropriate space in the container t and store a fork or the like therein, but there are problems such as deformation and burning when heated together with the food.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to attach a meal device such as a fork to a packaging box with a simple structure without obstructing the taking in and out of a food container.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention has a top wall, a bottom wall, and a pair of side walls opposed to each other, and is formed in a cylindrical shape having openings at both end surfaces, and through the opening. In a package box for a prepared food container in which a prepared food container is stored so as to be freely taken in and out, a pair of slits intersecting the ridge line is provided at a corner between the side wall and the top wall or the bottom wall. By swelling the portion sandwiched between the slits inside or outside, a holder portion for inserting the handle of the eating utensil was formed.

When the handle of the eating utensil is inserted into the holder, the product can be taken out with the eating utensil attached to the packaging box, which is convenient for the purchaser. Since the utensils are stored in the vending machine until the time of sale, the sanitary condition of the utensils is maintained, and mischief such as taking out can be prevented.

In addition, since it is only necessary to provide the slit, the structure is extremely simple, and it is possible to securely hold the eating utensil such as a fork. Furthermore, since the eating utensils can be easily taken in and out, workability during packaging is extremely good.

[0010]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The packaging box shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B has a top wall 1, a bottom wall 2, and a pair of opposed side walls 3 a and 3 b, and has openings 4 and 4 at both end surfaces. It is formed in a tubular shape. At the corner between the side wall 3a and the bottom wall 2, there is formed a holder portion 5 through which the handle of the eating utensil f is inserted.

Each of the walls 1, 2, 3 a, 3 b is formed by bending a sheet material provided with a plurality of parallel folds 6 in the same direction along each fold 6, and provided at one end edge in the length direction. It is formed by sticking the adhesive margin piece 7 to the other edge. The top wall 1 and the bottom wall 2 are each formed in a square shape, and the top wall 1 has a similar shape larger than the bottom wall 2. Each of the side walls 3a and 3b has a trapezoidal shape with one side of the top wall 1 and the bottom wall 2 as upper and lower sides. The material of the sheet material can be arbitrarily selected from paper, plastic, and the like, but cardboard is more preferable in consideration of ease of processing, manufacturing cost, or storage state in a vending machine.

The holder section 5 is provided with a pair of slits 8, 8 intersecting a fold 6 (ridge line) between the side wall 3 a and the bottom wall 2, and pushes a portion sandwiched between the slits 8, 8 into the inside. It is formed by swelling. The holder 5 may be provided at any corner. For example, it can be provided so as to intersect the fold 6 between the side wall 3a or the side wall 3b and the top wall 1, or to intersect the side wall 3a with the top wall 1 and the bottom wall 2, respectively.

In this packaging box, the eating utensil f is inserted into the inside of the handle through the opening 4 from the tip of the handle, and as shown in FIGS. By inserting a, the product can be taken out with the eating utensil f attached, which is convenient for the purchaser. Further, since the eating utensil f is stored in the vending machine until the time of sale, it is difficult for dirt to adhere to the sanitary condition, and mischief such as taking out can be prevented.

Further, since it is only necessary to provide the slits 8, 8, the structure is extremely simple, and the eating utensil f can be securely held. Further, since the eating and drinking utensil f can be easily taken in and out, the workability at the time of packaging becomes extremely good. The eating utensil f may be a spoon, a knife, chopsticks, a toothpick, or the like, and is not limited to the illustrated fork.

The holder section 5 may be configured as shown in FIG. The holder portion 5 pushes the central portion of the side wall 3a provided with the slits 8 and 8 inward along the length direction, and swells the portion sandwiched between the slits 8 and 8 to the outside. The tool f is configured to be attached to the outer surface of the side wall 3a.
